Oh no not at all I'm not sure how baking soda kills plants and I don't have any answers that's why I am here but I was just bouncing it back off of u to figure out a good solution and I kinda get that whole ph up is for water and water is for plants so ph up for pools is ph up for plants that's what I didn't understand and I was reading on rasing the alcaline of the soil and I came across burnt hard wood and lime so I figured I'd run that by and see if anyone heard of it or if it works but gguess not

U can mix something in the dirt to stabilize it. Or u can adjust the solution ur feeding them. Test ur water from the tap. This is just as important as the ph of ur dirt. You gotta know whats in ur water. Some substitues may not be the ideal ways to adjust your ph but, they will help. I would surely try adding water first to see what happens before I purchased anything.

No what I'm a complete idiot I was over watering for about a month and I just found out 3 days ago so i am letting them go for a bit that's exactly what is I'm dumb I'll wait 2 more days and start a good watering cycle like every other or every 3 days and I'll retest and I'll just keep an eye on them I'm dumb

I just tested my water it's 7 on the nose so the over watering must have been masking the ph imbalance I just added a lil soda and watered tested still at 5 so I don't want to keep adding soda so I might have to get ph up it just seems that thetnutes are acidic so I need to counter act that by adding ph up this was all found by someone saying that I probably don't have a nutritional deficiency just a lock out from ph issues and I think he's right cuz I have red stems and brown spots what do u think they are 1 month old so the 2 short ones are 2 small and the big one has red stems and pale leavesIMAG0799.jpgIMAG0799.jpg IMAG0798.jpg IMAG0800.jpg

Mix in some 3000k. Run 2/3rs 6500k in veg, 1/3rd 3000k, swap for flower. Also looks like you have no reflector and CFLs are horrible at sending the light where you want it without a reflector.

I don't see any deficiency in your plants other than maybe light.

k

I told Ur advice btw14197351117901455193994.jpg
this is the most plants I'll have when I get my females the most I'll have at a time is 8 clones take the 4 best then veg for a week take the 2 best and finish repeat the cclones on the 2nd of the month and I'll have 2 in 3 diffrent stages of veg and 2 in flower sound more then it is but less light needed and less room needed

Wow..this is an important subject...buy some p h adjuster, and add it to solution after you add nutes.. Are you using r/o water? Curious as to why the low ph...if u are u should add cal-mag at suggested levels..good luck
